16 ) Once I looked in the mirror and decided this is who I am, and I’m not scared of who I am, and I’m not scared that I can’t be like you, and I’m good with just doing me, that’s when I found myself, as a man.

17 ) I’m going from doing all of the work to having to delegate the work – which is almost harder for me than doing the work myself. I’m a lousy delegator, but I’m learning.

18 ) I’m doing a lot of touring and things have been really busy for me.

19 ) The great mystery to me is how restaurant critics think they can get away with doing their job without anybody noticing who they are.

20 ) I never wanted to be an actor, and to this day I don’t. I can’t get a handle on it. An actor wants to become someone else. I am a song-and-dance man, and I enjoy being myself, which is all I can do.

21 ) They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, Oh my God, I have to be so brave. See, every woman hates herself from behind.

22 ) But don’t call me an actor. I’m just a worker. I am an entertainer. Don’t say that what I am doing is art.

23 ) If I respect myself and believe in what I’m doing, no one can touch me.

24 ) Let me go to Clinton’s new proposal: to have uniforms in public schools. And people are doing that. How come they’re doing that? Dress codes! I find that abhorrent.

25 ) Everyone seemed to be doing well except me and my career. And my accent was no helping me any.

26 ) I know that everybody is so obsessed with this idea of fame, and they think that I’m obsessed. In all honesty, I’m just doing me.

27 ) I’m happy being myself, which I’ve never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn’t have those things in mine.

28 ) You can’t do a machine without knowing something about how it’s going to work. As for the romantics, the costumes bored me and I don’t enjoy doing period clothes.

29 ) There are lots of people I admire and respect, but I don’t necessarily want to be like them. I’m too happy being myself.

30 ) The only people who have doubts about the sincerity of my music are people who come to it relatively late, off the back of having seen me in a film. Acting is about being other people, and music is about being myself.

31 ) I felt like I got more comfortable on ‘Idol’ when I just started being myself and not trying to be what I thought I had to be.

32 ) I don’t think I have ever worked in my life, because work to me means that you are really doing something that you don’t like.

33 ) I try to associate myself as just being myself – and being a person, an American citizen, going out there every day and just trying to be successful.

34 ) The greatest thing about where my life is right now is it’s very relaxed and chill. I’m just hanging out, being myself and doing my work.
